Messages, replies not displaying unless 'Twitgin' is disabled

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installed mb-purple 0.2.1 on Pidgin 2.5.6, Win XP SP3
2. Disable 'Twitgin' in plugins
3. type '/replies' in twitter conversation
4. enable 'Twitgin' in plugins
5. type '/replies' in twitter conversation

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

At step 3 and 5 I expected the twitter output, possibly formatted
differently. Instead, at step 5 I see nothing; just:

getting reply messages
end reply messages

I am using '/replies' here to trigger *some* output, in fact mbpurple is
beeping and flashing the twitter conversation when status updates come in
but not displaying them unless I toggle twitgin as above.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

mbpurple 0.2.1, pidgin 2.5.6, Windows XP SP 3

Please provide any additional information below.

Both mbpurple and pidgin were upgraded at the same time, so I've no idea
which is the culprit here. Found that enabling/disabling twitgin had the
effect described by guesswork, since the release notes said: "You need to
enable Twitgin in order to get old fancy output in conversation windows",
and because I could see from creating a debug log that messages were being
received but not displayed (there's nothing interesting in the debug log,
it says it formatted the message for display)

Found the cause - please close

The installer had placed libtwitter in the system-wide plugins directory, but I 
had
installed previous versions in the per-user plugins directory. The debug log had
actually told me the problem:

(13:01:08) plugins: Not loading C:\Program Files\Pidgin\plugins\libtwitter.dll.
Another plugin with the same name (C:\Documents and 
Settings\<username>\Application
Data\.purple\plugins\libtwitter.dll) has already been loaded.
